Chapter 375: Sugar Cane Matters

Soon, Zhu Gaochi walked in from outside.

This period of time.

Zhu Gaochi is not only much more mature and stable, but his whole figure also seems to have been controlled a lot, at least it will not grow significantly.

This made Guo An Lao Huai happy.

After a salute.

Guo An will set up a chamber of commerce, and explained to Zhu Gaochi in great detail.

"We are going to set up a chamber of commerce in the Yan Palace...... All the gentry of Beiping Mansion can participate in the shares, accounting for 40% ......"

"Please rest assured, father, this matter will be done by the child!"

After listening, although Zhu Gaochi was also a little distressed in his heart.

However, he never doubted his teacher's schemes, and his father had agreed in front of the gentry.

So, he responded with a firm face.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness the Prince, we will definitely fully cooperate with His Royal Highness!"

The gentry thanked again and again.

"The new chamber of commerce will replace the original trade fleet. Therefore, it is inevitable to sort out a lot of complicated things.

Then please go back first, let's first work out various regulations with the officials of the Long History Division.

In two days, we will formally discuss with you. ”

Zhu Gaochi said slowly.

"Obey the orders of His Royal Highness!"

The gentry answered again.

……

After these gentry slowly left, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di and Guo An with a puzzled expression.

"Dad, teacher, our Yan Wangfu fleet can now earn a lot of money from Goryeo every month.

Now, there is no shortage of money and manpower in the house.

How can it be good to set up a chamber of commerce, so that those gentry can join in and get a piece of the pie? ”

Zhu Di looked at Guo An.

Guo An said: "Your Highness, the prince, it is precisely because my Yan Wangfu is not short of money now that Wei Chen suggested that His Highness let those gentry join in!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi's brows couldn't help frowning.

"Guo Qing, what does this mean?"

Guo An said: "Back to Your Highness, although these gentry are all facing my Yanwang Mansion in their words.

However, they all have families behind them, and in the end, they still have to focus on interests.

After all, it was the one who won them over!

Even if they are still facing my Yan Wangfu, as long as some people in their family have other thoughts, they may still be affected.

Now, my Yan Wangfu has divided its trade with Goryeo Yan and given them some benefits.

Let them be completely tied to the chariot of our Yan Wangfu, that is really safe. ”

"Moreover, it can be regarded as finding a way back for those gentry who are heading towards our Yan Palace.

Even in the future, after that succeeds to the throne, Da Ming can't tolerate our Yan Wangfu and them, and they, the gentry, can also follow the Yan Wangfu to retreat to the Goryeo Yan Kingdom, so as not to be connected!

At the same time, according to the urine nature of these gentry, as long as they can meddle in the Goryeo Yan Kingdom, they will definitely not let go of buying fields and real estate in the Yan Kingdom, and they will not be able to help me Yan Wangfu and govern the Yan Kingdom. ”

"Also, if these gentry join the Chamber of Commerce, then some of the stewards in the original caravan can be vacated and go to Goryeo Yan Kingdom as officials.

The most important thing is that those Yan Shanwei who originally escorted the big ship can vacate at least a thousand people and use them elsewhere......"

"Yan Shanwei, who escorts the big ship, can also be vacated?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

"Guo Qing is really cunning and cunning!"

As for Zhu Gaochi's attention, he was focused on completely tying those gentry to the chariot of Yanwangfu......

"The teacher is really far-sighted!"

Guo An: "......"

However, as soon as Guo An said this, Zhu Gaochi also knew how to treat those gentry.

got up and bowed respectfully to Guo An.

"Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely build a good chamber of commerce!"

"The prince is cautious and steady, and Weichen is at ease!"

……

Day 2.

Zhu Gaochi and the scribes of the Changshi Division had a detailed discussion the next day.

Day 3.

Without waiting for Zhu Gaochi to send someone to inform, those gentry spontaneously came to the door one by one.

Then, look at the details of the fleet's money transactions in previous years.

The gentry were once again full of excitement.

How could they not have imagined that the trade between Yanwangfu and Goryeo would make so much money?

In this way, they are really making a lot of money!

Next, everything is easy to do!

All the gentry are very active in contributing money and people!

As for the threat of the Emperor Jingshi's grandson, he had long been left behind by them.

Soon.

Five days.

The Yanguo Chamber of Commerce has been established.

A few more days passed.

It was the autumn harvest in Beiping Mansion.

Everyone was busy with the autumn harvest and didn't make any big noise.

However, Zhang Yu, who was sent to the south by Zhu Di, returned to Beiping Mansion with hundreds of old craftsmen who made white sugar and their families.

For these craftsmen, the Shen family is still familiar, and no one dares to make trouble on this.

And Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the emperor who lives in the East Palace, also received a report from Huang Zicheng.

The attitude of the Shen family made His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince very satisfied.

"Then the Shen family is quite interesting!"

"His Royal Highness is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the Shen family is just a family of businessmen, dare not obey His Highness's orders!"

For the Shen family, Zhu Yunwen and Huang Zicheng did not pay the slightest attention.

It's just that after talking about the gentry in Beiping Mansion, Zhu Yunwen's face became gloomy.

"I heard that all the gentry in Beiping Mansion are very treacherous and cunning, and most of them were sent by Mr. Huang to lobby on the first day, and they all hurriedly went to King Yan's Mansion on the second day to ask King Yan for their guilt?"

Hearing this, Huang Zicheng couldn't help but get up again, with a guilty face, "This is the disadvantage of Weichen, please punish His Highness!" ”

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly said with a gentle face: "This is the disloyalty of those gentry, what does it have to do with Mr. Huang?" ”

Huang Zicheng couldn't help but sigh lightly and said, "Your Highness forgives me, in fact, those gentry are no wonder for this matter!" ”

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help frowning and said, "Huh? How did Mr. Huang speak for those gentry in Beiping Mansion? ”

"Your Royal Highness doesn't know, that Beiping Mansion has been run by King Yan for more than ten years, and King Yan's eyeliner is all over the top and bottom of Beiping Mansion.

No matter what moves the gentry make, the Yan Wangfu will soon know.

And those gentry and their families are all in Beiping Mansion, for the safety of their families, these gentry have to pretend to submit to the obscenity of King Yan! ”

"Hmph, King Yan really has a bad heart!"

Zhu Yunwen said hatefully.

Huang Zicheng nodded slowly.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Huang Zicheng with an eager face again, "In this way, if you want to rely on those gentry to shake the foundation of King Yan, you can't do it for the time being, I don't know what other way Mr. Huang can teach Gu?" ”

"This ......"

Huang Zicheng couldn't help but ponder.

……

At the same time.

With the cessation of the major sugar workshops in the south, sugar artisans were taken to Peiping Province.

Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi and other southern state capitals have begun to see some turmoil.

Because sugar cane can be used to make sucrose.

In the southern states and cities of Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi, people often convert their fields to sugarcane.

With the birth of white sugar.

Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi and other places grow sugarcane people, self is more.

Even, there are some large families who directly planted the two or three hundred acres of fertile land at home, except for the more than ten acres of fields that were enough for their own food, and the rest of the fertile land was planted with sugarcane.

After all, the sugarcane was sold to the white sugar shop opened by the Shen family in cooperation with the Yan Wangfu, which made a lot more money than they made by growing grain.

In just a few years, sugar has made these big gentry earn a lot.

And with it.

These large gentry naturally increased their investment in sucrose.

Even, some large families directly invested their money in the family.

It's just that.

Those big farmers, see that this year's sugarcane has begun to ripen.

Just wait for the sale, and they will be able to make a lot of money one by one!

However, suddenly there was bad news.

Yanwangfu and the Shen family no longer cooperate to open a sugar shop.

Not only did those white sugar workshops shut down, but even those craftsmen who could make white sugar were all taken away by the Yan Wangfu.

This news was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, making those big families and people who were full of confidence directly freeze in place and chill all over.

In particular, some businessmen who went to the countryside to harvest sugarcane turned even pale.

The sky is falling!

In order to grab the sugarcane, they paid a deposit to the big sugarcane farmers.

Even, they have already harvested thousands of pounds of sugar cane!

"Sucrose...... Yes, and the cane sugar workshop......"

Suddenly, some businessmen and sugarcane farmers thought of the sugar workshop they had looked down on in the past two years.

Thereupon.

A group of people ran towards the original sugar mills.

When they arrived, these people were dumbfounded again!

"Sugar Workshop?"

At this time, they finally remembered that many sugar factories had been converted into sugar workshops.

And those sugar artisans have also become white sugar artisans.

Now, those craftsmen have gone to Beiping Mansion!

"Hahaha, it's gone, there's nothing......"

", why didn't the Shen family cooperate with the Yan Wangfu?"

"My sugar cane, ......"

In an instant, all the businessmen and big sugarcane farmers collapsed directly!

Without the sugar mills, no one wants their sugar cane.

Not only do those businessmen have to lose money, but those big farmers who plant and toss are even more miserable.

A year of hard work in vain turned out to be just a useless meal of sugar cane......

Soon.

Someone found out the news.

"I heard that it was the emperor's grandson who was afraid of King Yan in Beiping, so he spread the word and did not let the Shen family cooperate with King Yan!"

"The Shen family didn't dare not listen to the words of the emperor's grandson, nor did they dare to provoke the Yan Wangfu, so they could only give the sugar craftsmen and the sugar workshop to the Yan Wangfu!"

"This ......"

The crowd was immediately full of anger when they heard this.

"The imperial grandson wants to suppress King Yan, why should he implicate the sugar workshop?"

"Yes, without the sugar workshop, who will I sell the sugarcane that I have worked hard to grow for a year?"

"In our warehouse, two thousand catties of sugarcane have been harvested......

"If those sugarcanes can't be sold, how will I survive this year?"

"Let's go, go find the magistrate!"

"Hmph, go find the prefect!"

"Interrupted the work of so many people waiting for me, we will definitely appeal......"

Soon.

Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, these government offices, county government gates, surrounded by hundreds of merchants, gentry, village sages.

In these prosperous areas in the south, those who can have idle land to grow sugarcane are basically some big families with rich backgrounds.

Moreover, those who remain intact today are all officials in their families or large gentry with deep backgrounds.

Every family that comes to the door, those county officials and government officials, must be treated with caution.

And now, all these people are angrily blocking the door, or about sugarcane, these prefects and prefects are suddenly anxious!

However, they can't leave it alone.

After all, sugar cane also has their interests involved.

As for the imperial grandson?

Hum!

When it comes to their own interests, those gentry don't care about the crown prince or the crown prince!

No, because of the emperor's grandson, they will starve to death.

Those county and state governors did not dare to delay.

Thereupon.

The twists and turns of impeachment flew directly into the Beijing Division like snowflakes!
